Heat Wave

Funny how everything is relative. This month a "heat wave" was reported for Quito, with five days of record-setting temperatures in the city. I believe the high was 75 degrees. The weather has been lovely, needless to say. It has been humid for Quito, which means even though it may be 50 degrees it feels like a cool coastal morning. Mornings by our house are foggy and heavy, but the smell of the air! So fresh, so summer-like, almost like a living thing.

It was -24 below here yesterday so I am in LOVE with the idea of a heat wave (75 degrees)

I know! I saw an article in the Miami Herald about the "cold" wave! Of course, they said the Minnesotans just took it in stride, while the rest of the US (they even mentioned Wisconsin!) was complaining about the weather like crazy!
